How to use IBD to stay on top of growth stocks

  • Everyday first thing in the morning I prepare a one page summary of IBD ideas.
  • The basic objective of this is to  generate watchlist of growth stocks.
  • IBD is primarily focused on growth and momentum investing. 
  • It ranks stocks by earnings and price momentum and focuses on top 15% stocks by both.
  • If you do this daily you are on top of trends in sector, growth stock, IPO, and international stocks trading in USA
  • This is especially helpful for better analysis of Episodic Pivots opportunities. 
  • The benefit from this activity is cumulative, as you do it more you get to know more and more growth stocks and how they behave and sector trends. 

Note: 100/25 f 25 funds 20 to 40.
 If you see something like this in my notes it indicates a stock had 100% eps growth and 25% sales growth in latest quarter and float was 25 million and its fund ownership has gone up from 20 to 40 in last 4 quarters.
